Okay, I am SO glad I am not the only one who has a hard time separating babies and mommas. lol. If anyone ever asks me to do so when I am selling models, I tell them I'm not in the business of being a home wrecker. Some luck of the draw issues, but I think your Rotating Draft Surprises and Stablemakes really made up for it. Your joy at opening Bunyan was SO palpable. Congrats on getting him back. I sort of feel the same way about my purple Gran Cavallo. I considered selling him after I got him in the second chance sale for that year, but I just couldn't do it. I couldn't. Even with hard times, and those may still come later and I will have to make the adult decision, but at the time, I just couldn't. He felt like treasure. Still does. I'm glad you got your happy blue cloud back... He will look awesome next to Franz if you decide to keep Franz (who was the one SR I had someone nab for me in the second chance sale. Sometimes I feel that I was the only one who liked him). Great haul! I've been waiting eagerly for your video... And don't tell StormyStrike, but I may have watched your haul video before hers. lol. It's a great day for plastic pony TH-cam! Just think, your show string will have some definite heavy hitters if you end up at BreyerWest again. But I still think you should take your Lonesome Glory again. For good luck. :)
❤❤ Thank you _so_ much for this thoughtful comment! I'm so flattered to hear you were awaiting my haul video. Editing takes aaages; that's the hard part. Opening everything is the best! LOL at the "home wrecker" bit! I haven't separated a mare and foal yet because I just _can't_. She'd be heartbroken! I had a pony set with the grulla Misty, and I loved her SO much but didn't "need" her baby or the dad (shelf space is hard to come by), but.. off all three went together because I just couldn't split them up. I figured I'd feel even worse to keep just her and not the others than I would to see her off with her family. I did have some good luck come my way with the RDS and stablemates! Still feeling really grateful there! Franz was the first model my friend signed up for to get with pickups. She LOVES that mold and studied Franz Marc's work in her color theory class. I couldn't believe how blue Franz is in person! He's luminous! I definitely have some lovely new models to help with my show string. I'd love to try BW again, now that I have a better idea of what to do and will _certainly_ set aside more time to prep before I have to go. And LG is 1000% going to join me. If even just for luck.
OOH: I came back to talk about Gran: I absolutely know what you mean. I hope you don't ever have to sell him until (and IF) you know in your heart that you're ready to. He was meant to be with you! Congratulations on him!!
Wonderful Breyerfest haul! I was really moved by your story about Bunyan.Sometimes something just really touches you in the feels.I'm happy that you got that sweet faced blue cow.He's really cute!
Just want to say your videos always look well produced and provide great information. We think you're one of the best breyer channels! Keep up the great work 👍
You got such a great hull. And your right, he has such an adorable face. Awww I'm a sucker for cows. Congratulations on every thing you got this year. 😊
Congrats on getting a grail! I live in Lexington so I was able to go to BF & I found two grails at the Clarion. Such a wonderful thing to have happen after BF being online for two years.
I'm envious! I hope to shop the Clarion one day and find a grail. What a feeling that must be! I bet it was so nice to go back to BF in person. My fingers are crossed I can attend (for my first time!) next year!
it makes me so sad that we cannot order them to europe! the transportation costs are insane :( my only joy is coming here and watching unboxes of these beauties
Aw I'm so sorry! I can totally empathize with not being able to ship something due to high fees. I hope one day you'll be able to unbox some new BreyerFest models for a reasonable price!
Those are some good choices! Perhaps you could find some SRs at reasonable prices secondhand? It'd be WONDERFUL if Breyer offered those to online ticket holders.
Highly recommend! 😅 I know some people got Franz as their blind bag SR and he was a last choice, so, you could probably snag him for cheap! Brahms is my faaavorite, and the bay Marz is super pretty!
I hope you didn't customize that foal. Since they have released the set as regular runs this year in Palomino. I hate seeing SR models Customized, when if you just wait a short time, the bodies will be out.....
I really had my hopes set on completing a project before Halloween, and I knew the foal wouldn't be released as an RR before then. Eventually I realized I wouldn't get to my project in time, so the foal remained OF and went to a new home with her momma.
Your last unboxing hit me in the feels, I’m glad that things worked out in the end! Beautiful array of draft surprises too!
Thank you so much! I feel like I really got lucky with these RDS guys, and am so grateful to have a Bunyan back! 💙
I remember admiring that Bunyan! I think I got my own grail from that very same room. Great purchase and touching story to go with him
Oooh congratulations on your grail acquisition! It's the best!

Thank you so much! And I agree: some models sometimes just hit you *right there*. I'm so happy to have a Bunyan back. 💙 Thank you for watching!
Glad you got your redemption Hereford. 💙
Thank you so much! Meee tooo 💙. It's so silly, but also: incredibly emotional and fulfilling!
BUNYAN IS BAAAAACK!!!!!!
Hooray! I am so thrilled! Thank you so, so much!
Just want to say your videos always look well produced and provide great information. We think you're one of the best breyer channels! Keep up the great work 👍
Oh gosh Matthew, thank you so much! I really appreciate that! I'm happy to have you here watching!
You got such a great hull. And your right, he has such an adorable face. Awww I'm a sucker for cows. Congratulations on every thing you got this year. 😊
Thank you so much! I love cows too. 💙

Congratulations on your beautiful haul! Sorry I just recently found your channel and I am loving it!! So happy you got your bull home!
Thank you so much! I'm happy to have you over and am glad you're enjoying the videos! And thanks about Bunyan; I feel really lucky to have him!
My Chablis is almost over-dappled! Someone brought this up in the CC forum and it sounds like a lot of them are one or the other!
Nuts! I wish they could find a steady, happy medium.
The Big Ben mold Appaloosa looks almost exactly like a custom I painted back in the early 2010's
That's neat! I'd love to try painting an Appaloosa
Uh I might could have Landler………….😊😂
Haha. I did get lucky with him!
it makes me so sad that we cannot order them to europe! the transportation costs are insane :( my only joy is coming here and watching unboxes of these beauties

I did not even know Rhenish draft came in glossy!
Yes! Verrrry glossy. If you're a fan of glossies, he's really nice!
Your videos are so good
Thank you so much!
I really want the special runs more now after seeing this. I only had online tickets and I just bought the Rhenish draft Nicolas and Chablis.
Those are some good choices! Perhaps you could find some SRs at reasonable prices secondhand? It'd be WONDERFUL if Breyer offered those to online ticket holders.
@@CandaceToo They did They had a second chance sale but it ended the day before I got paid lol!
@@CandaceToo I really love your videos!
@@CandaceToo I bought the new Get Rowdy regular run and turned him into a pegasus with real feathered bendable wings and aqua blue glass eyes!
I would love for you to see him almost done!
My goodness, Candace! How many Breyer Horses do you have at this point?
SO many! LOL. There is always room for more though, right?!
I also have palomino Marzipan.
I heard he's lovely in person!
Funny thing is on me and mom got the rare draft surprise on the first draw cause I grabbed it then when my mom grabbed one she got the popular one lol
Oh that is funny! I hope you both ended up loving the ones you got!
I ordered 3 marzipan and got all dark variations! I was so hoping for a pali!
Ohhh nooo! Three bays?! I had that luck last year with Tassili. :/ I hope you're able to find a trade!
👍LIKE STEIN ❤️
He's a good one!
I want that Croix stablematemodel so bad
It's a really good one. I hope you find one soon!
It's been 2 years and I've still not been able to get the blanket appy. Still very pricey
It's true! I'd love to get one eventually, but their aftermarket prices held pretty strong. Can't afford one yet.
aghhhh I’m regretting not getting Brahms, Franz, and that marzipan variation. might have to pick them up second hand.
Highly recommend! 😅 I know some people got Franz as their blind bag SR and he was a last choice, so, you could probably snag him for cheap! Brahms is my faaavorite, and the bay Marz is super pretty!
I hope you didn't customize that foal. Since they have released the set as regular runs this year in Palomino. I hate seeing SR models Customized, when if you just wait a short time, the bodies will be out.....
I really had my hopes set on completing a project before Halloween, and I knew the foal wouldn't be released as an RR before then. Eventually I realized I wouldn't get to my project in time, so the foal remained OF and went to a new home with her momma.
